Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur’s Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur’s Gate 3 you create a Baldur’s Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers’ tits mod, which shall get its own group.

Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.

Maybe !photography@fedia.io works better, since it seems to be also showing Mastodon and Pixelfed posts?

Oh that's a great idea especially for a pictures community. That's actually making me think about moving !deus_ex@lemmy.ml to fedia.io

Edit: I don't think I see any Mastodon or Pixelfed posts there? I see a lot of LW

At this point just moving off .ml might be a reason in itself as there appears to be a large contingent of people who outright refuse to touch anything hosted there. Or maybe those are just a vocal minority, I don't know.

Yeah I've definitely thought of that issue too lol (I didn't create that community), moving people is hard but maybe that doesn't matter cause the community is kinda dead anyways
